Hi

My worksheet requires users to enter a 6 digit number into cell E14. Cell G15 has a simple VLOOKUP to return a text value for the corresponding number - =VLOOKUP(F15,Data!A:B,2,FALSE)

I would like to use Validation to display a pop up error message if the VLOOKUP returns a nil result - i.e. #N/A

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Just the #N/A from the formula isn't sufficient?

Data validation, custom, formula: =ISNUMBER(MATCH(E15, A:A, 0))
